Critic Reviews
The following reviews are used to calculate the overall reception for this game. All applicable scores are converted to our simplified rating system based on the specifics offered by each publication or the tone of each review. You can read more about how we do this here.
January 9, 2012 - Poor - The character models are impressive, with some realer-than-real HD textures and a heroine that's refreshingly realistic: Lana is brave but shaken, capable but still human. Sadly, this make the eventual realization that this is not the game we hoped for even more upsetting. We're not angry with you, Amy; we're just disappointed.
January 11, 2012 - Poor - Neither quirky enough to be forgiven its unfinished feel nor polished enough to satisfy the base gaming itch, Amy is a crushing disappointment with little to recommend it. With classic titles from both the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series getting HD re-releases there's absolutely no reason to suffer this shambolic imitation in search of your survival horror fix.
January 20, 2012 - Poor - Amy is bad, sloppy, and seems as if it was released in an unfinished state. Make no mistake: It's not good-bad. It doesn't have the loveable cult vibe of a game like Deadly Premonition, a goofy-fun gaming experience with similar last-gen graphics and terrible voice acting.
January 18, 2012 - Poor - Amy has some interesting ideas, not least the pairing of a fight-averse female lead with a fragile but powerful little girl. It's a pity these aren't enough to sustain it through hours of substandard survival horror.
January 13, 2012 - Poor - The graphics engine looks like it was developed for the previous console generation, there are inexplicable moments where the framerate suddenly drops and the game stutters hard, the enemy AI is just bad enough to be hyper-deadly. Yet none of that is important - what's important is that AMY is just no fun to play and, not only that, is actually really unpleasant a huge percentage of the time.
January 20, 2012 - Poor - There was a chance for Amy to bring higher production values to downloadable games while bringing the long-rotting corpse of purist survival-horror back to life. Unfortunately, it doesn't manage either, and only just achieves the bare minimum of being a playable game.
January 11, 2012 - Poor - If you want a downloadable game for $10, scroll randomly through the titles offered by your downloadable service of choice, randomly stop on a game and buy it. Your money will have almost certainly been better spent in lieu of buying Amy, which absolutely no one should play.
January 17, 2012 - Poor - Amy could have been such a good game. Its creator has a good track record; the mix of influences cherry picks from the best of survival horror; and the core concepts are sound. But the execution is so awful, it renders all of those qualities irrelevant.

January 23, 2012 - Poor - We want to see enemies so scary that they make you want to stab them repeatedly even when they're dead, we want to hear audio - screams in the night, yells of pain and children crying in the distance - to keep us totally on edge, and we at least want to experience the odd moment where we feel that our life is under serious threat. All these things are missing in Amy, and the result is, quite simply, boring.
